Question
Is it possible to grow a mango tree as an indoor houseplant?
I live in GA.

My neighbor gave me a deliciously ripe mango. The ripest mango I've ever eaten. I decided I wanted to try and germinate the seed and make it grow.

I've read dozens of things and watched youtube videos trying to get it to grow.

I have heard mixed reviews on whether or not it will survive as an indoor plant.

I live in Atlanta Ga. We have hot, humid summers and dry/cold winters.

the seed I am trying to germinate had a small root coming out of it. I put it in a thick soaked towel and put it in the sun. Within a few hours, the edges of the seed started turning black.

Is this normal?

A second mango, I believe the seed wasn't mature, but I have tried to germinate it anyway.

Tips?

Hi Desirai,
Thanx for your question.  Mangos make okay houseplants. Mango seeds often being sprouting before the fruit starts rotting.  So, what you saw is not at all unusual.  The edge of the seed may start turning black if it is rotting or has fungus on it.  Are you talking about the actual seed or the flat casing around the seed?  Good luck germinating the second seed.  You can grow a mango tree indoors just keep it trimmed and use it like one uses ornamental trees in planters.  You can keep it dwarf by trimming it.  Put it outdoors in the spring after the last frost and bring it indoors before the first frost.  I hope this helps.
